Fresh Branding & Website

Welcome to Northern Alberta Pioneers & Descendants Association (NAPDA)'s new website! We are glad to announce our fresh branding and digital presence. The logo features our historic location, the Old Timers Cabin, and the colours of the surrounding natural locale.

The new website is still a work in progress as we gradually digitize archival documents and historic images. The Gallery section is for the public and will feature photos of nAPDA events and members' achievements. The Archives, on the other hand, will be a members-only section and will host archival documents and images.

There are dedicated Membership and Donations sections for those interested in supporting our work. You can read more about the history of NAPDA and its Board of Directors and Presidents under the About section.

Finally, we are active on our new social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Follow NAPDA for regular updates and news @ABPioneers. A newsletter is available for members and includes recent news and event information. If you have any inquiries about NAPDA, membership or donations, please send us an email at info@northernalbertapioneers.com or submit a message in the Contact page.

About NAPDA

NAPDA is one of Edmonton's oldest chartered clubs. It was founded on June 22, 1894 as the Edmonton Old Timers Association by a group of 36 pioneers who either trekked across the prairies from the east or worked their way up the Saskatchewan River by boat. Its name changed to Northern Alberta Pioneers and Old Timers Association in 1925 and to Northern Alberta Pioneers and Descendants Association in 1983. Now NAPDA is nested on Scona Hill in the Old Timers Cabin, a historic events venue.
